TRAINING: When AI Gets Physical - Digital-Physical Transformation for the Public Sector
When AI gets physical, it’s time to embrace AI-grounded Digital-Physical transformation and Design Thinking to advance your digital transformation forte.
The world we live in
We live in an era of profound digital disruption, where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping economies and societies.
That’s evermore true when AI gets physical, fusing with the rapid digitalization of our physical things and spaces, fulfilled by the Internet of Things (IoT). That AI and IoT fusion, or AIoT, is at the core of Digital-Physical Transformation.
Digital-Physical Transformation represents a critical evolution in Digital Transformation, integrating AI-powered insights and IoT’s vast connectivity and data production to transform industries and public policies.
Training Overview
This workshop empowers leaders to harness the potential for Digital-Physical transformation, innovating and building more intelligent, more resilient systems that operate at the convergence of humans, cyberspace, and the physical environment – using Design Thinking. And, importantly, to innovate governance and public policies to leverage AIoT‘s vast benefits and mitigate the pitfalls when AI gets physical.
This expert-led workshop delves into Digital-Physical transformation, AI, IoT, AIoT, and their role in reshaping our world. Participants will gain knowledge, frameworks, and practical tools to innovate solutions and governance at the intersection of these disciplines, using Design Thinking to create solutions that address real-world challenges.
